She thought he was playing. He stops the music and admits he tried but his hands won’t cooperate.

They need answers. He clutches the back of his neck and seems off, but assures her he’s fine.

RJ arrives and can sense something is up.

Eric doesn’t let his grandson know about his Cerebrovascular Disease and calls RJ a great designer.

His loyalty means so much. They look at a design and Eric wants to use diamonds.

RJ calls it expensive but Eric says you can’t cut corners or sacrifice for speed or cost.

“And always use the company credit card.” RJ says, “Well it’s your company.” Eric laughs.

He can’t wait for Ridge and Carter to see the invoice. Donna calls him “bad.”

Eric says when they win this, they’ll take his office and company back. He leaves the room and Donna confesses to RJ that Eric’s been having mini-strokes and he feels like he’s running out of time, which is why he feels he has to rush the collection.

In the other room, Eric takes pills and flashes to coughing up blood.

He coughs and takes a seat, pulling out his hanky before being relieved that there’s no blood in it.

“It’s sad with Liam and his divided heart.” Finn can understand why she wants Thomas then.
